Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime on Pokémon GO: “There’s much more that we’ll be doing in this space”

During E3 2017 this week, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was asked to share his thoughts on the Pokémon GO phenomenon. Here’s what he had to say:

“We are fortunate that we have had a series of phenomenons,” Fils-Aime said. “Whether it’s been Pokémon GO, or our NES classic that we launched last holiday season, and now Nintendo Switch. What we want to do is create these games and these new executions that the consumers feel they absolutely have to go buy.”

Fils-Aime wouldn’t say what other augmented reality games could follow Pokémon GO, but he did say “there’s much more that we’ll be doing in this space.”
